Saltheart, I hear ya. Its different in the boat, but common curtesy should still apply. Obviously, if a pod of fish comes up, other boats will show, but that doesn't mean they should cut right in between you and the fish.
Early this season, that's happened to me quite a bit, and scotch mentions a well known guru... how about long time harbor guides. You'd expect better from them.
Twice now, I've been casting towards a blitz working quietly closer with my minn kota, to have this guy motor right in front of me. One time I had my kid standing next to me... that's crude.
But to be honest, from a transplant into New England some 10 years ago, there is a certain amount of crass, rudeness, abrasiveness up here. You see it on the roads, on the train, in the store... why not on the water.
My experience up here has shown me that most people are nice just like anywhere else if you meet them personally, but the treatment of strangers definitely has an edge to it. Tough to deny that.
